Microphone Cable- Braid Shield 60°C Low Impedance 300V Neoprene

Low-impedance microphone cable is designed to carry microphone-level signals reliably while helping limit noise and signal degradation.

In professional audio systems, microphone signals can be relatively weak and therefore more susceptible to interference. A properly matched low-impedance cable helps maintain signal quality between microphones, mixers, preamps, and related equipment. Shielding is also important because it helps protect the audio signal from electrical noise that could otherwise produce hum or interference.

A braided shield surrounds the conductors to help protect low-level signals from electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.

Microphone and other low-voltage signal circuits are often installed near electrical equipment, lighting, power wiring, and other potential sources of interference. The braid provides a conductive shield around the insulated conductors, helping reduce unwanted noise while remaining flexible enough for applications where the cable may need to be routed or handled frequently.

A neoprene jacket provides a durable, flexible outer layer that helps protect the conductors and shielding during handling and installation.

Neoprene is useful in applications where cable flexibility and resistance to everyday mechanical wear are important. That makes this construction suitable not only for microphone connections but also for studios, control circuits, video interconnections, and other applications where the cable may be routed around equipment or subjected to repeated handling.

Choose the conductor size according to circuit length, electrical requirements, equipment specifications, and allowable resistance or voltage drop.

The products on this page are available with either 18 AWG or 16 AWG two-conductor constructions. The 16 AWG version uses a larger conductor and has lower resistance than a comparable 18 AWG conductor, which can be useful for certain longer runs or applications carrying more current. For microphone and signal applications, the connected equipment's requirements should ultimately determine the appropriate conductor size.

Yes. This type of shielded multi-conductor cable can also be used in compatible control, interconnection, video, and shielded power-supply applications.

The cable's usefulness extends beyond professional audio because its two-conductor construction, braided shielding, and flexible neoprene jacket can suit other low-voltage signal and control applications. The products in this category are specified for low-impedance microphones, studios, control circuits, video and interconnecting cables, and shielded power supplies. The cable's 60°C temperature rating, 300V rating, conductor size, capacitance, and other electrical characteristics should be verified against the requirements of the intended system.
